how the tf141 cry (ranked out of how pretty they cry)

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick - 10/10 (romcom core)

- how he cries: single tear down the cheek, lip has that barely-there tremble, dewy lashes. think romcom breakup scene

- why he'd cry: emotional whiplash. grief he though he buried. when someone he loves gets hurt. or when he feels helpless.

recent cry log:

watching his little cousin walk over facetime 🥹

might've shed a tear when he saw you (yes, YOU 🫵) hug and talk to a stray puppy near base. the puppy's name is now crumpet.

John Price - 8/10

how he cries: silent, shoulders shaking, whole face clenched up, beard soaks up most of the tears (idk if this is how beards work 🤷🏼‍♀️). you won't see them, but like the air shifts basically. imagine walking in on your dad crying.

why he'd cry: when his men die. when the mission fails. when he thinks of all the people he's lost. and sometimes... when he's proud (especially YOU 🫵🫵🫵).

recent cry log:

cried after writing a letter to a soldiers family. also cries at night thinking about writing them for a member of his team (especially 🫵)

alone in his office one night, he looked at an old photo of his first squad. half of them didn't make it past year three. also whispers "I should've kept you back."

Johnny "Soap" MacTavish - 6.8/10 ("I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying")

how he cries: laugh-sobs, face turns red (🍅), nose gets involved immediately. full snort.

why he'd cry: bottles it up for 6 months, then explodes when something small breaks the dam. will cry at happy/bittersweet things too. big feelings boy.

recent cry log:

after getting a letter from his gran where she signed it, "my wee hero". he kept it in his vest for 3 months, and the smudge is totally from the rain and not his tears...

when ghost got hurt and wouldn't stop bleeding, Soap lost it after the mission. not in front of him tho. that'd be illegal.

Simon "Ghost" Riley - 4.5/10

how he cries: It's not crying, it's full-on breaking. he doesn't cry often, but when he does? it's like a wound being ripped open. red eyes, cracked voice, entire body shaking like he's short-circuiting. zero sound, then like one sound that hits like a gut punch.

why he'd cry: rage. grief. flashbacks. guilt. he doesn't cry in front of anyone, ever.

recent cry log:

had a nightmare mid-mission and woke up to a very sleepy you reaching out to hand him something (a stuffed toy, or whatever you'd give him). he tried not to cry. failed. ugly sobbed into his hands while you were probably snoring beside him.

once in the middle of the night, had a night terror so vivid that he woke up crying and barely breathing. didn't talk for two days.

writer's note: hi guys! sorry I haven't posted since april. I had a couple surgeries and I'm currently on bed rest. but I am also an ipad baby at heart.

also!! I tried to include you, a.k.a the reader, in a way that you could fill in the blanks. if it made you cringe in a way that was like "I/my oc would NOT do that" I am actually so sorry because I hate that feeling 😭

[auroryebread]

you are actually an angel sent from heaven, it's really hard to find platonic t141 content since there are so many gooners in here (no judgement I am one too). I love your blogg so muchh teehee

aww 🙈 I'm recovering from surgeries right now and this was really sweet :) as a fellow gooner myself, sometimes you do want something platonic and cute to read (as most people do). and I also like making ocs/self inserts for games that I like!! so I'm really glad you like my blog !

extra - sorry for dipping after two posts... I'm on bed rest right now, so since I have nothing else to do, I'll hopefully be able to write some more hcs :p

soap, the hype man - platonic tf141

it doesn't matter what you're doing. could be lifting, could be tying your damn shoelaces. soap is in your corner like you're about to shatter a world record. you're kneeling down to stretch your calves before starting your actual workout, barely even breathing hard yet, and from across the gym, a certain scotsman's voice literally echoes. "LET'S GOO, Y/N!!" you flinch so hard you almost pull something. soap's hyped (what is he on?), clapping his hands like you just deadlifted a helicopter. ghost, somewhere behind you, mutters, "for fuck's sake, mactavish." sighs into his hoodie like he regrets all his life choices. but makes no move to stop him. wooow... so nice of him... "I'm literally just stretching." you point out, trying to wave him off. keyword: TRYING. he squats down next to you (his ass jiggled btw, it's the physics of that thang) like an overenthusiastic couch. “Aye, and ye’re listnin’ it! Stretch those muscles, champion! Ye’re killin’ it, wee yin!” you haven't even started your actual workout, hell, hadn't even finished stretching, and somehow you already feel like you've been through an entire motivational seminar. with a sports commentator presenting. price pretends to not know any of you. you're the only ones in the base gym. yet, he sees simon only. proceeds to walk by and mutter something about "bloody children" under his breath. wow. i see how it is... gaz decides to make it worse. thanks a lot! really helpful, pooks. before you know it, two men are squatting next to you. blink twice if you need help. “let’s get it, superstar!” he yells. “show that yoga mat who’s boss!”

soap fist-bumps him. “see?! that’s teamwork, baby!” price leaves the room. you turn the volume up for your music. --- writer's note: is this cringe? i literally can't tell. anyway, I think I'd cry if this happened to me. #justiceforreader!!

the tf141's habits - tf141 hcs

some habits need pysch evaluations. John Price - sleep? what is that? he doesn't trust sleep. literally sets alarms every 90 minutes. reasoning? "just in case." - tea tempering. he brews his tea like it's a blood ritual. if someone dares microwave water, he looks at them like it's treason. - talks to himself. mutters FULL conversations under his breath. gaz once heard him win an argument against himself in three different accents. at least he won. - smokes in the rain. claims it "feels cleaner." soap is convinced he's just romanticising depression. (he is) - stares into the middle distance. like he's waiting for nameless dread to walk through a door. you mimicked it once, he looked over, then proceeded to nod in approval. Simon "Ghost" Riley - refuses to touch public doorknobs. always uses his sleeve or foot. - watches people sleep. not in a creepy way (trust me, I'm the bedframe). he just stands there. he especially does it with you, because he just wants to make sure you're sleeping alright :(( - silent meals. eats like he's in a hostage negotiation. no chewing sounds. no talking. just... silence. like the silence where you can hear your own sins echo. John "Soap" Mactavish - wears mismatched socks on purpose. - eats raw instant ramen like chips. straight up bites it. no shame. (but is being shamed) - shower karaoke. full concert. echoes through base walls. - keeps a stress ball. not for squeezing. but for throwing. he throws the ball at people. - talks in third person during high-adrenaline moments. "soap's got this. soap doesn't die today." when you ask who soap is, his response is: "the main character lass/lad" - carries 7 knives. refers to them by name. one is named "susan." do not ask why. Kyle "Gaz" Garrick - schedules his breakdowns. like it's a business meeting. always 4pm sharp, and he brings snacks. - corrects people's grammar while being shot at. soap once yelled "WHERE THEY AT" gaz's response? "where are they, you mean" - colour codes his gear. not because it's practical, but because it looks nice. - keeps a spreadsheet of everyone's favourite snacks. he'll randomly give you your favourite crisps at the end of a mission :D - gossips. like full-on podcast voice when gossiping with you. soap joins in sometimes. gossip girls... remastered. --- writer's note: hi again! second post :) again, I'm writing this at 8am with no sleep. literally dying rn. apologies if there are any typos. much love xx

what the tf141 get teased for - tf141 hcs

John Price - his dad energy (soap has once called him dad.) would 100% ground you then sneak you snacks. gaz got him a 'world's best dad' mug. - swears like poetry. shakespeare, if shakespeare smoked cigars - still doesn't know what "slay" means and doesn't want to. (or whatever gaz says) - rbf? nooo... its "I'm not mad I'm disappointed in you" face Simon "Ghost" Riley - the mask stays on. even in 40°C heat. (but he does take it off when the tf141 is alone) - always lurking like a cryptid in a hoodie. "like batman... but if batman didn't like fun" - gaz's wise words. (i can confirm, I'm his hat) - somehow managing to be the most dramatic one without saying a word - moving silently and scaring the soul out of everyone... John "Soap" Mactavish - his hair routine. that mohawk is constantly abused with gel. it could stay still in a hurricane... - being the loudest in every scenario, like the walls owe him rent. - stealth's arch-nemesis (ghost's words) - his scottish rage... has "talked the chair into submission" after stubbing his toe. Kyle "Gaz" Garrick - knows exactly what "falsies" and "baking" means. blames his sisters. (I hc him having two) - spends an hour+ doing recon and comes back with relationship tea. - his skincare routine. full beauty influencer, "you look like you moisturise with angel tears", soap's words. - similar lines, but his eyebrows. could slice bread with how sharp his eyebrows are. - diva.
